The government has developed Malaysia Digital (MD), an initiative to accelerate the growth of the nation’s digital economy, driven by three key principles — flexibility, agility and relevance.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the initiative, via MD Catalytic Programmes (PEMANGKIN), will function holistically in transforming Malaysia’s digital economy ecosystem through three strategic priorities.

“It will, firstly, help drive digital adoption among aspiring young entrepreneurs, companies and people. Secondly, support local tech companies to become ‘Malaysian Champions’ and successful international players. Thirdly, attract high-value digital investments,” he said when launching MD and the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation silver jubilee celebration here on Monday (July 4).
